Arkansas will be without some depth in the offensive backfield to close the season, as freshman running back James Jointer Jr. announced that he would enter the transfer portal.

Jointer wrote on social media that it was a childhood dream of his to be an Arkansas Razorback.

“My time at the University of Arkansas will be with me forever,” he wrote. “And the state of Arkansas will forever have a special place in my heart.”

He then announced after special consideration and prayer his decision to enter the portal.

The Little Rock native played in one game this season and had 3 carries for 9 yards.

Last week, redshirt senior Warren Thompson left the team, and Jointer’s departure will likely be the beginning of a slew of moves across the SEC and college football next week and in early December as the transfer portal heats up.
